Two-year-olds are full of energy, curiosity, and are beginning to develop independence. The program gives two-year-olds an opportunity to explore, share, and learn through play while under the guidance of a positive nurturing staff. We place a strong emphasis on social interaction and work to expand each toddler’s language ability to express themselves creatively through music, art, dance, and physical education. The teachers provide an atmosphere where the children have a balance of freedom of activities and teacher-directed activities.
Physical development is emphasized through complex gross and fine motor skills taught inside the classroom and in the outdoor play yard. The children will participate in a variety of large-muscle activities. They will begin to demonstrate eye-hand coordination through these activities.
Social development is fostered by building friendships in the classroom and beginning to understand and use expected behaviors in a group setting with cooperation. There is a focus on emotions and self-control while learning how to share with their peers.
Cognitive development is focused on language, listening to stories, matching and sorting colors, alphabetic knowledge, counting, following simple directions, and beginning to experiment with writing instruments.
Toilet use will occur during the two-year-old program when the child exhibits signs of interest. The teachers will motivate the children with positive reinforcement while encouraging the children to participate in potty training.
